Judas Priest has announced the rescheduled 50 Heavy Metal Years North American tour dates for March-April 2022. Support on the trek will come from Queensrÿche.
Judas Priest was forced to postpone around two dozen North American shows on its rescheduled 50th-anniversary tour in late September after the band’s guitarist Richie Faulkner suffered an acute cardiac aortic dissection during a performance at the Louder Than Life festival. He ended up undergoing a 10-hour life-saving surgery a short distance away at Rudd Heart and Lung Center at UofL Health – Jewish Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky.

Glad Faulkner is doing better.
Will Ritchie be fully healthy enough to return playing on stage and enduring the rigors of the road? You don’t exactly bounce back from that kind of heart procedure he had, regardless of how young he is. I wish him the best, but he needs to approach this comeback carefully. He has a lot to live for outside of Judas Priest.
A good double bill. I hope circumstances will allow live events to happen in Spring 2022 as scheduled. From the show announcements i’ve been hearing (including Monsters of Rock Cruise and Rok Island), it could be a great spring for live metal and hard rock music. Someone should do a tv show featuring that music! 😉
Nnice to see I willbe able to see them here in Portland, again!! \m/
